Gel polymer electrolytes (GPE) were prepared with iota-carrageenan, sodium iodide (NaI), and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide (BMIMI). The enhancement of ionic conductivity has achieved from 1.34 × 10 −2 S cm −1 to 2.11 × 10 −2 S cm −1 after the addition of BMIMI. The dielectric studies show tha...
